BREAKING: Trump Makes Major Announcement About RNC Convention

President Trump announced from the White House Thursday afternoon the RNC convention in Jacksonville has been canceled.

Citing the ongoing battle against Wuhan coronavirus, President Trump said it is his duty to protect the American people and the timing of the event isn't going to work.

The announcement comes after the Republican National Committee moved the convention from Charlotte, North Carolina to Jacksonville in June because of ongoing reopening restrictions.

This is a developing story, stay tunes for details.

the problem is with the originating hospitals

Bingo. The hospitals are given financial incentive to declare covid. Big payday is putting someone on a ventilator, which can be a death sentence for the patient.

He's not caving...He's making a "wise" decision.

Whatever.

Even though I don't agree with President Trump's decision to cancel the JAX convention, I'm still with him 200%. Just so you know.

The Jax sheriff is basically a politician. He’s slippery and ducked out of the presser after kneecapping POTUS the other day. The previous Jax Sheriff is now solid GOPe Congressman John Rutherford.

Wow. Thanks for the information. NOT good.

Florida look like it’s in Biden’s column in the recent polls. We’ll see what people think when they look more closely at Biden. He can’t hide forever.

Joe Biden doesn’t have to come out of his basement. Media’s going to keep up Chinese virus panic until fall when flu hits. Then it will be unbearable all the deaths, hospitalizations reported until they get all mail-in voting. They never give up.

Yeah, sorry but no way comparable. Seatbelts don’t add to sweating anywhere near the extent, not to mention they don’t make me inhale germs back in either.

“He’s not caving...He’s making a “wise” decision.”

Wise? How is caving in to the “Idea” that Covid 19 is the modern version of The Black Plague.
Which is what he has done.

Why does he have to say it? Why does he say many of the things he does? Generally it’s to make his point. He seldom if ever holds back on that.

Agree. More than “conventions are antiquated,” it’s the fact that the Hoax News will not cover the GOP convention at all.

Last time, fantastic speakers, great music never made it on air. Talking heads take up all the time.

So from that perspective, they are meaningless now.
